Chapter 694: A Trace Of Pa.s.sion
Lin Yan had originally wanted to get some useful information out of Pei Yutang. However, in the end, he knew nothing.
This was a sensitive topic so she couldn’t ask anyone else. If the news traveled to either Pei Yucheng or Xing Chen, it might cause a misunderstanding.
Lin Yan had accidentally chanced upon Xing Chen’s conversation. After careful deliberation, she realized that asking Pei Yucheng was definitely out of the question.
Besides, she couldn’t possibly ask Xing Chen about this matter either.
Lin Yan racked her brains and decided on a more feasible, safer way. Other than making sure that Pei Yucheng wouldn’t be in danger, Xing Chen would also not be enticed by the other party.
That phone call had been informative. The other party had used Ling Yue as a bargaining chip to try to persuade Xing Chen.
If Pei Yucheng agreed to let Ling Yue off, then the other party’s plans would fail.
Of course, Lin Yan couldn’t be entirely certain that the other party didn’t have any other bargaining chips.
At least, that was the only thing she could do right now.
Lin Yan trusted Xing Chen based on how he had replied earlier. Xing Chen was faithful and loyal to Pei Yucheng judging by his unwavering att.i.tude.
She brought both cats back to her room before she quickly sent Pei Yucheng a message.
‘Are you busy? Do you have some time?’
Lin Yan didn’t receive any response from Pei Yucheng.
Hence, she strode to his study and knocked. There wasn’t any answer either.
The door was ajar, so she gently pushed it.
Lin Yan caught sight of Pei Yucheng, who was asleep in his chair.
She walked over to Pei Yucheng and gazed at him.
She had to admit that Pei Yucheng’s intimidating, cold aura dissipated when he was asleep. From her point of view, his face was truly flawless and capable of sending a country to destruction!
She concluded that Pei Yucheng was the most charming when he was asleep. When he was awake, he was like the King of h.e.l.l.
Lin Yan got a light blanket and trode carefully back to him before she tried to cover him.
However, before she could do that, Pei Yucheng, who was sound asleep, jerked awake abruptly with bloodshot eyes. He emanated a terrifying icy aura as he grabbed Lin Yan’s arm.
Lin Yan was too shocked to respond, as she froze. It hadn’t occurred to her that Pei Yucheng would wake up so suddenly. Plus, he was so… frightening!
“Who asked you to come in?” Pei Yucheng’s hard, steely voice sounded as though it stemmed from his bones.
“I…”
Lin Yan stared at Pei Yucheng’s bloodshot eyes, unable to utter a word.
Before she could reply, Pei Yucheng tugged at Lin Yan’s arm, making her lose her balance and fall into his embrace.
“Mr. Pei… You… Are you alright?” Lin Yan asked with a frown.
Pei Yucheng wrapped his arms around Lin Yan as he gazed at her. Impa.s.sively, he replied, “I had a dream.”
“Huh?” Lin Yan was taken aback. “A dream? What did you dream of?”
“You,” answered Pei Yucheng curtly.
Lin Yan was rendered speechless… What?
“You interrupted my dream. Don’t you need to make up for it?”
She was just about to respond when the man’s lips brushed against hers lightly. Despite the light touch, she could feel a trace of pa.s.sion in him.
Lin Yan’s mind went blank.
